All I know is if the VHS disease fiasco is any indication, the feds if given an inch will take a mile if given the chance.
What blew my mind was the total disregard of the hardship they caused fish farmers (shut down interstate fish commerce for almost a year) and wanted to do even more but thank God our representatives stepped in. For folks that were Phd's the science wasn't really there either.
On another note does anyone remember when a cow tested positive for Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (Mad Cow disease) a few years ago and the spokeswoman for CDC said there was nothing to worry about as long as no spinal cords are severed when cattle are butchered? Having been a meat cutter once I'm still scratching my head on that one. If cattle can be quartered and butchered without severing the spinal column I'd sure like to know how. The media didn't even catch it.
Recently we are told nothing to worry about with MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome), although person to person transfer has been confirmed here in the U.S. Funny that as when SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) was spreading in China we were told as long as it was animal to human and not human to human transfer there was nothing to worry about. But when it became human to human that would be be very serious. Hmmm...
